Freeloaders: Fun Days

The week’s best freebies Jan. 12-18

We don't like it when our Mondays resemble The Bangles' "Manic Monday," but sometimes that's the way it goes. However instead of getting caught up in the everyday stresses of a busy day, we've decided to reinterpret the '80s ladies anthem. We not going to spend the whole week wishing for our fun days. Nope. We're going to make every day our fun — and free — day. And we're starting now.

Monday Sometimes you just need to jam out on a Monday. Head to Home Team in West Ashley for their weekly jam session to help ease you back into the week.

If you've got a kid who's a little dramatic, perhaps he or she is made for the stage. Take them to the Shrek Jr. auditions at South of Broadway to find out.

The Sparrow has its weekly comedy night to help laugh away your Monday blues.

Wednesday Charleston Comedy Festival kicks off tonight, and while the shows aren't free, you can party like they are. Leaf hosts the first L'after Party with $2 off draft beers and liquors and $1 off wine and bottled beers.

You've probably noticed a few more dog pictures on your newsfeed lately. They're for the event Doggies for Anthony in honor of a teenager undergoing cancer treatment. And on Wednesday Bay Street Biergarten is hosting a dog friendly yappy hour for the teen. So, grab your pup and enjoy some brews for a cause.
